It seems like all the forums don't get this far or only briefly touch on it.8.

From my understanding not having credit rating yet, no lender would touch us on a personal level so looking into the LLC route to get everything going.

If the existing rental has had a long term tenant and hasn't been touched in years, it can be expensive to make it rent ready again when you have a turn over.

Did you ever get in touch with the person?

The North End and Pottsgrove would be better options in Montgomery County...but maybe it's because I lived there for so long and didn't exactly enjoy it (happy to elaborate more in PM)... but I wouldn't touch anything Pottstown with a 10 foot poll. 

All water is off, all gas if off, there is a huge drip pan underneath the tank which carries the water to an outside drain on the side of my home.I'm pretty much afraid to touch the tank and go into the attic.

When I told the broker I was confused, he simply replied "My suggestion would be that you spent time looking in the market, and be in touch if you have any questions." 

So I had to pay thousands to draw plans, get approvals etc before a bank would even touch it.Good luck and hope it goes well!

Can anyone tell me what they know about that area and which areas are seeing growth vs areas not to touch?  

Please get in touch with me if anyone is looking to sell or has any realtor recommendations.
